Teams — Miami brings the better offensive production on these numbers, posting a .733 OPS and 488 runs, with a .250 team average. The Marlins are 4-6 in their last 10 games. Their pitching staff has a 4.05 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, which is slightly better than New York’s staff marks. The Mets have a .685 OPS, 455 runs, and a .233 team average, with a 5-5 record over their last 10. New York’s staff owns a 4.11 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. From a matchup angle, Miami shows the stronger season-long offense, while New York appears to have the cleaner starting pitching edge based on Thornton’s run prevention and WHIP.
